Gamble with your life (micro pov) warning: possible violence, death and abuse
Welcome to your new home micro, unfortunately you’ve been taken by a cruel master who only wants to entertain himself. You were kidnapped from your life, doesn’t matter where and thrown in a box with hundreds of others that have been turned into micro’s. (Or have always been that way if you want.) and now have been unceremoniously placed upon a table. A large one that houses a dozen or so rudimentary buildings, three stand out, a food court, a job center, and a real estate agency. In the food court is a slot machine, the job center a spinning wheel, and the real estate agency a gashapon.
Things are pretty simple, you and everyone else have five tokens to start, each wheel costs different amounts to spin. Entertain the big guy watching you and you get rewards, fail and death. Food wheel costs one token to spin, you get one shot, for each symbol of a food you roll you get a half gram of it (scaled to size would be a full meal worth) say a steak, apple, and soup icon, you get a half gram of each. But roll three of the same and you get triple the result, so three half grams of streak? Now that’s four and a half grams.
The spinning wheel the job center is easier, you roll it each day and get a random job, one spin for free every day but can re roll at the cost of three coins. You can get anything from being police, a doctor (even without a license), a criminal (yes that can be assigned), or even a murderer. Any job is on the table except overly complex ones, like a pizza delivery person. You may say ‘oh that’s not complex’ but think, who do you think would have any possible need of that. Any and every job available is something immediately useful.
Finally the real estate agency! It’s a gashapon. It costs five tokens to spin each time, can be spun three times a day. What you get out of it is a strip of paper, when night comes around present the paper with where you want to go. You can roll anything from a dumpster to a personal villa. Each paper only lasts for one night though.
Tokens are broken down into five denominations. Red: 1 value, blue: 5 value, yellow, 25 value, green 125 value, black 600 value. For 10 black tokens one may buy their freedom. As the days progress jobs pay more but more costs can be incurred. Being stolen from, buying goods, or even some special services for ladies of the night. Either way, you may suggest more machines to be added, if it is added you get a yellow token as a reward. And a special little thing: killing another micro means you get double their tokens. If they have five black tokens? Now you have ten more. Every friend you make may be planning to stab you in the back to get your wallet. If you ever run out of tokens you can ask max (the micro who trapped you here) to do a coin flip, heads you win five red tokens, tails, you get pushed off the table to fall to your death.
On the first day and only the first day fifty red tokens, ten blue tokens, and two yellow tokens are spread around the city and hidden.
